Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires Republicans to act in good faith.

One of our two political parties is a cult whose leader admires Vladimir Putin.

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

Nothing says ‘pro-life’ like letting children go hungry.

Humiliatingly small and eclipsed by the derision of millions.

In after Baud. Damn.

Let the trolls come, and then ignore them. that’s the worst thing you can do to a troll.

Stop using mental illness to avoid talking about armed white supremacy.

Do we throw up our hands or do we roll up our sleeves? (hint, door #2)

We can’t confuse what’s necessary to win elections with the policies that we want to implement when we do.

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

We will not go back.

It’s pointless to bring up problems that can only be solved with a time machine.

Republican speaker of the house Mike Johnson is the bland and smiling face of evil.

If you voted for Trump, you don’t get to speak about ethics, morals, or rule of law.

Dumb motherfuckers cannot understand a consequence that most 4 year olds have fully sorted out.

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

There is no compromise when it comes to body autonomy. You either have it or you do not.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

People are complicated. Love is not.

There are no moderate republicans – only extremists and cowards.

Jack Smith: “Why did you start campaigning in the middle of my investigation?!”

People are weird.

The real work of an opposition party is to oppose.

Sad news for Black and Gold faithful:

Steve Courson, the former offensive lineman for the Pittsburgh Steelers who developed a heart problem after becoming one of the first NFL players to acknowledge using steroids, was killed Thursday when a tree he was cutting fell on him.

Courson, 50, was using a chain saw to cut down a dead 44-foot tall tree with a circumference of 5 feet when it fell on him, according to state police. The accident happened around 1 p.m. at his home in Henry Clay Township, Fayette County.

Roger Victor, an investigator for the Fayette County coroner, said Courson was apparently trying get his dog out of the tree’s way. “The wind was blowing, the tree snapped and it fell on him and his dog,” Victor said. The dog was injured and taken to a vet.

Pastor Lois Van Orden, who was with Courson’s mother, Elizabeth, at her Gettysburg, Pa., home, said the family had no immediate comment.

Courson made the Steelers in 1978 as a free agent guard from South Carolina. He started more than half of the Steelers’ games before he was traded to Tampa Bay in 1984, where he played another two seasons before being waived. He ended his career after the 1985 season, having played on the Steelers’ Super Bowl championship teams in 1978 and 1979.

Goodbye.
